Apparently, I’m just a second-team runner

Talk about a kick in the pants. Here I organize this whole let’s get moving Tallahassee thing, walk and run 420 miles this year, start Move.Tallahassee.com, and guess what?

I don’t even make the first team.

We’re pumped at the Tallahassee Democrat to support the fifth annual Corporate Cup Challenge on Oct. 12 at Tom Brown Park. In the challenge, teams of four people compete. One member on each team does one event:

Here’s a link to a map and more information on Move.Tallahassee.com. This is our third walk in this series. …

Move.Tallahassee.com is headed to the annual Chamber Community Conference in Amelia Island this year, Aug. 9 to 11 at Omni Amelia Island Plantation. But you’ll have to get up pretty early in the morning to earn your Move.Tallahassee.com T-shirt.

We’re planning a 6 a.m. (not a typo) walk Sunday morning on the new hiking and walking trail, and if you come out and complete the walk, I’ll give you a T-shirt with the cool logo.

Yes, I know it’s early, but I promised Sue Dick I’d have you back in time to shower before the 8 a.m. breakfast meeting, though whether you actually shower is a personal choice. I’ll not judge you. I also might not sit with you. …

Finally, I went out for a walk with a small group of people over the weekend to Lake Overstreet, which is now one of my favorite places in Tallahassee. It’s gorgeous. We did 3.2 miles.

If you are organizing a Saturday or Sunday walk in your neighborhood or with your friends, let me know, and if I can, I’ll come out.

Unless, you are like a certain person at my office and just don’t want me on your team.Not that I’m hurt. I’m just making a point.
